Good Reasons to Get Your Teeth Whitened

Tooth whitening treatments are a popular choice for those who want to improve their appearance. Whether you opt for a professional treatment such as Zoom whitening, or an over-the-counter product to use at home, whitening treatments are an effective way to get the attractive smile you are looking for. Though the benefits of teeth whitening are too numerous to count, here is a sampling of the kinds of improvements you can expect.

• Increases ConfidenceWhen we look good, we feel good about ourselves. Having a brighter smile increases self-esteem and gives us the confidence we need to conquer the world.

• Makes You Look YoungerAs we age, our teeth take on more and more of a yellow hue. Whitening treatments make our teeth white again, making us appear younger.

• Removes Most Stains and DiscolorationThe bleaching process removes almost all surface stains and deeper discoloration, and whitens teeth by several shades.

• Improves Dental HygieneThose who undergo teeth whitening treatment are more likely to do a good job with maintaining their brightened smile through daily brushing and flossing.

• Less Expensive than Other OptionsVeneers, too, can give us a brighter smile, but they are much more expensive than whitening treatments. For the price, there is no more an effective solution than teeth whitening.

Not everyone is a candidate for teeth whitening, however. Whitening treatments can worsen certain dental conditions, and some discolorations do not respond to whitening treatments. If you are interested in having a brighter smile, contact our office to discuss which treatment is best for you.
